The Bodyguard System

We are competitors after all. So, you cannot expect that we are going to show mercy to you. After all, if you get a chance, I\'m pretty sure that you will definitely hit us until you destroy us. And since we have taken the initiative to attack this time, we will have to make sure that we take you down.

I do doubt that if you guys can survive this time, you will allow us to continue surviving within this city. So, since two tigers cannot survive in the same mountain, then we have no other choice but to eliminate the other tiger."

Anthony was not angered by what Angelo had said. In any case, even the Johnsons had been having the plans to eliminate the Williams. It was just that they had never planned to use such a method like the one that the Williams were using.

In any case, the method that the Williams were using at the moment was the one that dealt damage to both sides. Despite the fact that the Williams were currently managing to take down the Johnsons, still, the damage that they themselves were currently suffering was definitely not small at all.

Additionally, it was very clear that if they pushed the Johnsons to the limit, the Johnsons would definitely not agree to go down without a fight. So, if they decided to fight against each other to the death, the two families might end up destroying each other, giving an advantage to the other families that were currently watching them from the shadows.

Anthony did not believe that the Williams were stupid not to understand something like that. It had to be that there was something that they were depending on, but the Johnsons did not know.

Within this meeting, other than making sure that nobody was going to target Scarlet, they had to make sure that they understood the reason why the Williams were willing to go all out despite the losses that they were currently suffering.

Still, it seemed that it was going to be difficult for him to be able to get that information from Angelo. As for Ruth, she looked completely ignorant, and he doubted that she knew anything about it.

As for Andrew, that guy was completely silent all this while, leaving all the negotiations to Angelo. Despite the fact that it seemed that Angelo was the one that was leading this place, it was clear that Andrew did not respect him that much.

So, this guy was not remaining silent out of respect for Angelo, but instead, it seemed that he was having plans of his own. As for what plans they were, nobody knew.

"Are you sure about that? Because I can tell you one thing. If you continue pushing us, we will have no choice but to retaliate. And I will promise you one thing, the retaliation from the Johnsons is not something that you would be willing to experience." Anthony stated calmly.

Angelo frowned upon hearing that. He understood that he could not allow the Johnsons to attack at this moment. If they did that, then the plans that they were having of taking down the Johnsons in one fell swoop was definitely going to be impossible to carry out.

Nevertheless, he could not show any form of weakness in front of Anthony. So, he could not easily give up. Otherwise, Anthony might think that the Williams were easy targets.

"Why do you think that the Williams will be afraid of you? We have our own reasons for attacking you other than just being competitors…" Angelo was just about to reveal something when he suddenly realized that he was speaking too much. Immediately, he stopped talking.

Nevertheless, it was too late. It was at that moment that Anthony realized that there was definitely something that had made the Williams to attack them so relentlessly. It was clear that there was something that was pushing them. Perhaps it was a person, or there was a certain reason.

So, Anthony decided in his mind that the moment that they left this place, he would inform his father about this matter. He expected that Clifford would be able to investigate about the reason why the Williams were currently attacking them.

Knowing that he had already faltered, Angelo decided to complete the meeting. So, he said, "I have come to a decision. We are going to start competing against each other, from one industry to the other. Once we destroy one of your industries, we are going to destroy your next industry. I hope that is not something that you will find too much to handle, right?"

Anthony thought about it, and realized that it was not that bad. If they were going to only deal with one industry at a time, it was going to give them ample time for them to make preparations for the other industries that they were involved in.

"That\'s good. So, which industry are we going to start competing against each other first?" Anthony responded before asking back.

Angelo revealed a cunning smile and said, "You will know about that the moment that we begin attacking that company of yours in a certain industry. So, you have to be patient. Don\'t tell me that the mighty Anthony is impatient and afraid of suffering a little losses."

"Okay. Since that is the decision that you have made, there\'s no problem in that." Anthony responded nonchalantly. Still, in his mind he was cursing Angelo several times. Of course, he was not planning to have the Johnsons wait for the Williams to attack.

Instead, he hoped that his father would decide to take the initiative and attack the Williams before they launched the attack. Despite it seeming like the Johnsons were currently at a great disadvantage against the Williams, that was simply because they were afraid of suffering greater losses.

"Since we have already come to an agreement, there\'s no need for me to continue staying here. So, I\'ll be leaving. Ruth, come with me." Angelo stated as he stood up. He went ahead and held Ruth\'s hand, and pulled her out of the room.

He was not willing to allow her to continue staying here. After all, she might end up provoking this group again, and that was something that he was not willing to do. So, it was better for them to get out of here and send back the information of the agreement that they had come to.

This meeting between the younger generation of the two families was held by two people that had been given authority by the leaders of both families. So, the decisions that they made were the representations of the two families.

Of course, before they came, they had already been informed about the limit that they could accept and so on. So, currently, having already come to an agreement, it was clear that what they had agreed upon was not beyond what they were supposed to say.

As Angelo left, he was thinking to himself, \'Just you wait guys. It doesn\'t matter if we don\'t attack you that much during the next few days. Nevertheless, once the plan is in place, we are going to destroy you all at once. At that time, we will be able to reduce the damage that we will be suffering, and we can receive the support that we have been longing for.\'

That\'s right. The Williams never had the plan of negotiating with the Johnsons. The only thing that they were intending to do was to buy time. And since they had already come to an agreement, it was clear that they would use one of the companies that they possessed in order to buy the time that they needed.

Once everything was in place, they would launch an all-out attack, catching the Johnsons off guard. It would be at that time that the Johnsons would be destroyed, and the Williams would be the sovereigns of the entire city.

Just thinking of that, Angelo could not help but smile. The plan that was to be carried out was something that had been organized by his father. So, that implied that as long as they dealt with the Johnsons, the advantage that his father possessed over Ruben would increase by a good magnitude.

At that time, there would be no competition between Philip and Ruben. So, it was going to be a sure shot for him to be the next leader of the family, instead of Andrew. So, he was happy about it of course.

Ruth on the other hand could not help but feel that her brother was too soft. How could they who had all the advantage that they could have, suddenly give in to the Johnsons?

Even though it was true that the battle between the two families was going to continue, to Ruth, this was them giving in. And to her, that was completely unacceptable.

So, while Angelo was still dreaming about the future, Ruth turned around and looked at the three people that were still sitting at the table and shouted, "You cowards! The next time that we meet, I will make sure that you beg!"
